Automated powder bag filling system

Streamline your powder packaging operations with a fully integrated system that automates filling, sealing, and bag handling, ensuring precision and safety while reducing manual intervention and contamination risks.

Automates Powder Filling and Sealing Process

The Limited Intervention Powder Bag Filling System RBF Series from GEA redefines powder packaging automation for food, dairy, and nutraceutical industries. This system excels in fully automating bag handling—from filling to sealing—reducing manual labor and contamination risks. Utilizing a “bottom-up” filling process, it ensures precise and dust-free operation, with models handling up to 12MT/hr. Integrated components include a bag de-couple shuttle and heat sealer, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. Designed for high-speed, continuous operations, it features a PLC-controlled interface for seamless integration into existing production lines. Optional Modified Atmosphere Packing enhances product preservation in oxygen-sensitive products. The enclosed design minimizes dust migration, safeguarding product integrity and operator safety. Maintenance is streamlined with automated adjustments and an Auto-tune function for consistent accuracy. Suitable for various powdered products, it meets high hygiene standards with minimal operator intervention necessary.
